Identify strategies to promote joint attention, turn-taking, and social reciprocity for children with autism during play.
Central objective: Identify practical strategies to promote joint attention, turn-taking, and social reciprocity for children with autism during play in early childhood education and child care centers. Supporting elements: evidence-based techniques for child care providers — including structured visual cues, routine-based turn-taking, modeling and reinforcement, sensory-friendly adaptations, and individualized prompts — plus guidance on adapting activities and collaborating with therapists for children with special needs. Actionable tips and training resources help providers create inclusive, socially engaging play environments.
